Third-generation Porsche Panamera is launched in Singapore, with prices starting from S$498,468 before COE and options
Claudine, Singapore - Porsche Singapore launches the third-gen Panamera "executive sports sedan" in Singapore after its global debut in Shanghai at the end of 2023.
Prices for the base model in Singapore will start from S$498,468 before COE and options, with deliveries starting in the second-half of 2024.
Like the Cayenne, Macan and Taycan, the Panamera is one of the more "practical" models in Porsche's line-up.

There will be three Hybrid models (4 E-Hybrid, 4S E-Hybrid and Turbo E-Hybrid) available alongside the bi-turbo 2.9-litre ICE variant (353hp / 500Nm) at market introduction.
Needless to say, there's that liberal sprikling of Porsche dynamic magic in every model in terms of handling balance and the Panamera is not an exception.

In this generation, the E-Hybrid models are touted to offer a greater electric range, faster charging speed, better throttle response and better driving performance.
Matched to the 2.9-litre biturbo V6, the "base" 4 E-Hybrid delivers 470hp / 650Nm (4S E-Hybrid punches out 544hp / 750Nm).
The range-topping Turbo E-Hybrid is rated at 680hp / 930Nm, thanks to its biturbo 4.0-litre V8 hybrid set-up.
The third generation Panamera is all-new and sees some nips, tucks and tweaks to update it in terms of both equipment and aesthetics.
Among other things, we see a more digitalised cabin, as the new Porsche Driver Experience cockpit concept strikes that welcome balance between digital and analogue controls.

The display car also featured the optional 10.9-inch passenger display, which involves the passenger in the driving experience – it also allows operation of the infotainment system and supports video streaming.
Like the Hyperscreen on the Mercedes-Benz EQS, the passenger display has a form of privacy screening so it cannot be seen from the driver's seat to avoid causing a distraction.
Also specified on the display car were the +2 rear seats (instead of a 2+1 bench), which can be reclined for greater comfort.
“The all-new Panamera stands for equal parts luxury and sportiness inside out,” said Mr. Andre Brand, General Manager of Porsche Singapore.
He continued, “Our flagship has always been the choice for those bold enough to forge their own path. Now, with even more powerful drive systems, a fundamentally modernised operating concept and plenty of innovative technology, we underline our claim to offer the most dynamic sedan in the segment.”
